Seems that this has a naming problem. Each backend needs a unique name. The
|
||
|
|
length of the name has to be short enough to not make the key length
|
||
|
|
excessive. The longest backend name in git-annex is "BLAKE2SP256E" (12).
|
||
|
|
A UUID seems too long, domain name probably too long.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If two external backends picked the same name and the wrong one
|
||
|
|
got installed, bad things could happen, like failing to verify content
|
||
|
|
because it used an unexpected hash.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maybe just have a name registry on this site, first come first served and
|
||
|
|
if you chose to overlap, you get to keep all 100 pieces?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Note that external special remote programs must have unique names too,
|
||
|
|
which does not seem to have been a problem in practice.)
